Interesting idea. And how often disability of the body is linked with a supposed disability of the mind in fiction - Eliza's ideas are mostly not folk. I wouldn't have thought of Rumpelstiltskin as disabled, but as a different sort of being, and, having found out that the name has a meaning, and what that meaning is, I wouldn't really want to enquire more about him.
